Ayden was diagnosed as being on the spectrum at a level 2 in November 2023. Because I have worked in a field where I supported people with autism, I seen signs in Ayden when he was around 18 months old. I had to do my own research and find a place to test him since the waiting lists are really long in my area. I have learned a lot from this organization just from their website to get help in dealing with things Ayden goes through on a daily basis. I have decided to do the autism speaks walk and asked Ayden if he would like to do this with his mommy. He smiled at me and said, "yes mommy." We are so excited to do this walk. Since this is our first walk I set our goal of fundraising at 1000 dollars for this walk. Please help us reach this goal. You can donate anyway you feel comfortable. You can write a check or send a money order. You can make it out to autism speaks. You can go to the website and donate as well. We appreciate anything to get us to our goal.
